Chapter 531 Bad Woman!

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

He woke up early in the morning, drove to the city, and followed the navigation to the hospital where Qi Guan's son was having surgery.

Qi Guan was Chu Fang's classmate, and when Chu Fang's maternal grandfather passed away, it was Qi Guan who carried his grandfather's coffin up the mountain. Chu Fang would never forget this kindness.

Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is not auspicious for visiting patients, so I had to come today.

"Chu Fang..." Qi Guan hurriedly approached as he entered the ward.

"How is my nephew?" Chu Fang put the fruit basket aside, looked at his nephew with his eyes closed, and asked casually.

"The surgery was a success." Upon hearing this, Qi Guan's face lit up with a smile. "I have to thank you for this."

"Hey, I can't accept your thanks without doing anything in return." He waved his hand.

"I will work hard and pay you back as soon as possible."

Chu Fang disagreed: "We don't need to say so much between us. If you have extra money, pay it back. If you are short of funds, it doesn't matter if you delay payment. Ten or eight years, twenty or thirty years, forty or fifty years, it's all up to you."

In truth, he didn't care about the money at all, and was indifferent to whether it was returned or not. However, he knew that Qi Guan had his own principles and integrity, and that asking the other party not to return the money would be an insult to Qi Guan.

Chu Fang chatted with Qi Guan and Bai Xiangping, and before long, their nephew who had undergone surgery woke up and sweetly addressed Chu Fang.

He patted his nephew on the back of the head: "You've just escaped death, you're destined for great fortune and a bright future. What do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to be as successful as Uncle Chu."

Don't end up like me. In the end, I'm just a guy with some wealth who can't create any value for society.

Chu Fang has a fairly clear understanding of himself.

After chatting for a while, he left and drove home.

Many couples got married on the second day of the Lunar New Year, causing traffic jams on the roads.

Besides the heavy traffic and narrow roads, there are also human factors involved. Some elderly people in rural areas block the road, stopping wedding cars and refusing to let them leave without giving them red envelopes. They also demand a large sum of money from the red envelopes before letting them leave.

This action caused the groom to break out in a cold sweat in the dead of winter, pacing back and forth, trying to figure out how to leave the place while paying as little money as possible.

Beep beep beep...

Chu Fang honked the horn and stuck his neck out of the window: "Grandma and grandpa, please make way, I need to pass."

"What are you shouting about? Can't you see anyone? No way!"

“If you don’t let me, I’ll just drive over there,” he said calmly. “You’re suspected of violating traffic safety regulations, so I have every right to just drive over there. At most, I’ll just pay some compensation; it’s no big deal.”

"Hey!" Hearing this, the elderly men and women blocking the way got excited, hands on their hips, "You're really rich, aren't you?"

"It's alright." Chu Fang said modestly, "I'm paying with money, but you're losing your lives, and I happen to have the money to compensate for your lives."

Just as the elderly women and men were about to argue, someone who appeared to be a relative of them, who was watching the commotion, whispered a few words in their ears.

The elderly men and women's expressions changed, and they carefully examined Chu Fang's car.

Goodness, this car costs millions, so he can definitely afford to buy our lives.

No, I don't want to die!

The elderly people quickly made way for them. Chu Fang gave the groom a wink, and he immediately understood. He got into the wedding car, stepped on the gas, and drove away. The other wedding cars followed.

"You brat..." As the wedding car drove away, the elderly men and women pointed at Chu Fang, gritting their teeth.

They realized that Chu Fang was deliberately sabotaging their source of income.

Facing the murderous gaze, he saluted: "Goodbye, grandpa and grandma, I wish you... a son soon!"

He stepped on the gas, and the car roared away, followed by loud curses.

He didn't seem to care about that.

These old men and women weren't going to live much longer anyway, so do whatever makes you happy.

Not long after the car drove off, the wedding cars that had been blocking the road earlier were lined up ahead. The groom waved from the roadside, and Chu Fang stopped the car. The groom then expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much for your help, brother. We would have had a hard time getting away without you."

The groom then gave Chu Fang several red envelopes, which he accepted. Chu Fang clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Congratulations on your marriage! I wish you both a long and happy life together."

The two chatted for a few minutes before parting ways.

Chu Fang looked at the red envelope, took a picture, and sent it to Zhong Tingyue.

[Solo player in dating: Ms. Zhong, congratulations! I'm married.]

Wang Shu: ... ...

[Wang Shu: Have you really sunk so low as to drive wedding cars for money now?]

[Solo player in a dating game: Ms. Zhong, when I saw that bride in her wedding dress, I thought about how beautiful you would look in one. (Not the Western-style wedding dress you wore last time, but a traditional Chinese wedding dress.)]

[Wang Shu: You're quite traditional.]

[Solo queue player focused on romance: It's mainly about patriotism!]

[Solo player in a dating game: Ms. Zhong, I really want to see you. It's been so long since I've seen you.]

[Solo player in a dating game: No way, I need to change my plane ticket to the day after tomorrow, and go to Central China to find you.]

Wang Shu: ... ...

That's what Chu Fang thought, and that's what he did.

I immediately called the airline and used a little bit of my privilege to change my ticket to Central China.

Back home, Chu Fang told his parents about changing his flight ticket.

Chu's father didn't seem to care, while Chu's mother pouted, looking unhappy.

He stormed out of the house, rode his electric scooter away, and Chu Fang followed behind on his own electric scooter until they arrived at his grandfather's grave.

Chu's mother sat in front of the grave, tearing at the paper money, looking sullen. When Chu Fang arrived, she snorted heavily, turned her head away, and ignored him.

Chu Fang squatted down, tearing at the paper money as well, and remained silent.

The two remained silent, until Chu's mother finally couldn't help but speak: "Hmph! Just as I expected."

"Mom, what exactly happened?"

"The TV series really put it that way: having a son is like having an ungrateful wretch who forgets his mother after getting married!"

Chu's mother felt wronged.

She carried the child for ten months, raised it with care for over a decade, and endured countless hardships to bring it to life. Despite all that she had done, Chu Fang didn't stay at home for long during the Spring Festival before leaving to search for that 'bad woman' in the Central Plains.

Don't you know I have a grudge against that wicked woman?!

“Mom, you can think of it this way.” Chu Fang stroked his chin and replied, “The sooner I go to the Central Plains, the sooner I can marry Zhong Tingyue, and she will become your daughter-in-law sooner. Once she enters our Chu family, you will be her mother-in-law, and you can order her to do anything you want. Wouldn’t that be interesting?”

Chu's mother glanced at him sideways: "Do you think I'm stupid? That bad woman is no pushover. She argues with me even after she comes home, and even bullies me."

She paused, then grew even angrier: "You're such an ingrate! You brought that wicked woman into our home. You've long since lost any motherly affection for me, and all you care about is that wicked woman. You let her bully me."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Chu's eyes, which turned red.

Seeing his mother like this, and with his grandfather in front of him, Chu Fang sighed, "Alright, alright, I won't change my ticket. I'll go to the Central Plains as planned."

Chu's mother was very firm: "Go away, leave me alone, let me fend for myself!"

"... ..." Chu Fang drawled, "Mom~~~"

The tears in Chu's mother's eyes dried up instantly, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She touched the back of his head and said, "This is my good boy, the flesh and blood of my mother. All the suffering I've endured has not been in vain."

Faced with such a mother, Chu Fang simply smiled.

The two tore at the paper money, lit it, and burned it. Flames roared in front of the grave. Chu's mother looked at the flames and tilted her head, saying, "My goodness, I burn paper money for Grandpa every day. Do you think he's very rich down there? And with all that money, he won't find me a stepmother and you a stepmother, will he?"

Chu Fang: "..."

Grandma?

What a novel name!
